      Highlights of the SkyBet League One match between Reading and Burton Albion.

      Troubled Reading gained the welcome boost of a precious point with a goalless League One draw against fellow strugglers Burton.

      Reading - who were deducted four points this season for various financial breaches - dominated for most of a scrappy contest as Burton were grateful to goalkeeper Max Crocombe for a series of fine saves.

      For the second home game running, Reading fans staged a protest against controversial Chinese owner Dai Yongge by throwing tennis balls on to the pitch in the 16th minute.

      After a 10-minute delay, during which the players returned to the dressing-rooms, referee Sam Purkiss restarted the game.

      In a poor first period - before and after the enforced break - neither side were able to create any clear-cut openings.

      Joe Powell blazed the ball well off target for Burton early on while, for the hosts, Charlie Savage curled a long-range effort narrowly over.

      Femi Azeez went closer with a firmly-struck attempt in first-half stoppage time but the ball was smartly saved by Crocombe.

      Reading were comfortably superior after the interval, with Crocombe forced into action to save a thunderous shot from Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan.

      And as the hosts desperately sought a late winner, Crocombe made a superb double stop to first deny Ehibhatiomhan and then Azeez on the follow-up.
